We present an ultraviolet extension of the ``simplest little Higgs'' model. The model marries the simplest little Higgs at low energies to two copies of the ``littlest Higgs'' at higher energies. The result is a weakly coupled theory below 100 TeV with a naturally light Higgs. The higher cutoff suppresses the contributions of strongly coupled dynamics to dangerous operators such as those which induce flavor changing neutral currents and CP violation. We briefly survey the distinctive phenomenology of the model.
